The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said Saturday Lotto Megadraws had a reputation for creating more millionaires in a single draw than any other game.

“From Morley in Western Australia to the Sydney CBD, from Cairns to the Apple Isle, more than 500 Aussies experienced the indescribable thrill of a division one win last financial year,” he said.

“While lotteries are games of chance where wins can land anywhere at any time, we did see some pockets across the country welcome more prizes than others.”

Mr Hart said some players chose to buy tickets at lottery outlets that had been successful in the past.

“Some players tell us they deliberately pick lottery outlets that have recently sold a major lottery prize in the hope of continuing the winning streak, while other players choose different outlets, believing lightning won’t strike twice,” he said.

Saturday Lotto’s $30 Million Megadraw draw 4593 closes at 7.30pm AEST on Saturday, July 26.

Entries can be purchased at any licenced lottery outlet, online from thelott.com or via The Lott mobile app.
